-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you move a large number of Pushpins from one folder to another folder in
the Pushpin Explorer, the computer may appear to stop responding (hang).
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Automap Streets Plus
for Windows, version 5.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
When you try to move 2,000 or more entries from one Pushpin set into another,
the following message is displayed:
 
   The Pushpin Explorer is trying to open a set which contains more than 2,000
   Pushpins. This could take a long time. To improve performance, use the
   Explorer to separate your Pushpins into sets of less than 2,000. Are you sure
   you want to continue?
 
If you choose to continue, it can take more than five minutes to complete the
action. Actual speed depends on the speed of your computer and the amount of
available memory.
